The most general complaint that seems
to spare neither class nor condition OF
person, is seated in the liver. Many
with woe begone countenanees, de-
spondent spirits and depressed feelings,
exaggerate every event until even sui
eide has been known to result from this
morbid condition of body and mind, yet
simmons Liver Regulator Is known TO
be a specific for affections of the Liver,
Spleen and Kidneys. Unlike most prep
arations it fully meets the wants of the
patient whose liver. or stomach is disir-
ganized, and soon restores the emacia-
ted and spiritless dyspeptic sufferer to n
more hopeful condition of life than he
could otherwise hope to attain,
The Episcopal Methodist says: "This
medicine is acknowledged TO have no
equal as Liver Medicine, aud 1T gives
us great satisfaction and supreme pleas
ure to endorse what skill has developed
in securing so valuable q remedy as
Simmons Liver Regulator"

Diversified Industries.

The prosperity Of Louisiana largely
depends upon diversifcation of indus
try. Year BY year the people are realiz-
Ing the importance of this fact and
slowly but surely the rigid bonds Of old
systems are being torn asunder and new.
better and reasonable methods are taking
the place Of the fascinating but inordi-
nate worship Of the great staples, cotton
and sugar.
The planter of old carried his eggs in
one basket and the failure Of sugar or
cotton crop. often meant debt, mortgage
and finally ruin. While the sugar plan
ter entangled iB tie machinery Of COM
plicated industry has not yet been able
to extricate himself and occupy the posi-
tiOn reached by the cotton planter, still
there is an active movement in progress
to seperate the manufacturing from the
agricultural department, and to gain
that independence of action which is 30
essential to successful farming.
Few. il any planters. now place an
absolute dependence on cotton. 1t Is con-
sidered of prime importance to grow the
necessaries Of life. Hogs. poultry, dairy
products, corn and vegetables do not
bring In much cash perhaps, but they
save the spending of vast deal of money
and enable the farmer to live in comfort
and plenty that he never knew in the
days when cotton was king. Then, too
there is always surplus of these pro-
ducts to sell which will bring in some
money should drouth, rains, worms
or other contingencies prove damaging to
the f]eecy staple.
There are 80 many agricultural pro-
ducts adapted to the soil and climate of
Louisiana that there Is no difficulty in
selecting something to grow in conjunc-
tion with the staple crops. Besides cot
ton. sugar, or rice. farmers may raise
corn. hay, oats and tobacco; and potatoes
onions and other vegetable products.
Fruits should be grown not only because
such crops are very profitable. but they
add much to the health and enjoyment
OF the farmer and his family.
While the diversiicatiOn of crops is a
matter OF great moment. it is no less i'm
pOrtaut that the agricultural should be
diversified with the manufacturing in
dustry. Thisiis important not only to
cheaper the articles needed on the farm
but to furnish home market for agri-
cultural products. Every man engaged
in factory is a consumer of the products
OF the soil. The factory creates demand
for meat, butter. milk, corn, sugar, rice,
vegetables and fruits and the producers
OF these articles would be assured of
steady market at good prices. Farmers
may not be able to assist directly in es-
tablishing factories, but they can do
what is hardly less important to the sue
cess of these enterprises and that is to
encourage them by giving always the
preference to home manufacturers.-N.O o.

INTERESTING FIGURES.
Tho Entire Motive Force Of tho Civliiz
EoHnttles OF the World.

rho Entire Motive Force Of tho Civilized
coHntties Of the world.
From a note published by the Bureau
Of Statistics in Berlin the following
very interesting figures are taken.
Four-hfths of the engines now work
ing in the world have been constructed
during the last five lustra (25 years.
France has actually 1880 stationary
or locomotive boilers. 1000 locomo-
tivcs, and 1850 boats boilers; Germany
has 90, 600 boilers, 10000 locomotives,
and LOO ships boilers; Austria, 12,O0C
boilers and $500 locomotives.
The force equivalent to the working
steam engines represents in the United
States 7,500,00 horse power, in Eng
land 1000, 900 horse power, in Germany
4,500, 00O. in France 100000, in Aus
tria 800, 600. In these the motive pow
ct Of the locomotives Is not included,
whose numberin all the world amounts
TO 100000. and represent total oi
100000 horse power. Adding this
amount to the other figures, we obtain
the total OF 46, 600, 600 horse power,
A steam horse power is equal tC
three actual horses power; living
horse is equal TO seven men. Tho
steam engines to-day represent in the
world approximately the work of a
thousand million of men, or more than
double the working population Of the
earth, whose total population amounts
TO 1,455, 923. 900 inhabitants. Steam,
therefore, has trebled mans working
power, enabling him to economize his
physical strength while attending to
his intellectual development.-Sciea.
